RHOBH's Kim Richards might finally be putting sobriety before her career

Christina is a reporter based in Boise, Idaho. She's a veteran vegetarian, a political junkie and a huge grammar snob. On the weekends, she can usually be found binging on Netflix, playing the piano or petting her cats, Daisy and Dandelion.

Kim Richards just admitted one big reason she's struggled so much with her sobriety

Richards appeared during Part 2 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 7 reunion, and during her time on the show, she opened up to host Andy Cohen about how being a full-time reality TV star may not have been the best thing for her health.

During her time on RHOBH, Richards was in and out of rehab. She was also arrested for trespassing when she tried to stay at a hotel bar after hours. After the season wrapped up, she was arrested again for shoplifting. She didn't return to the cast for Season 7, but she did make a few cameos as she worked on regaining control of her life.

"Last year was a low point. It was not a great year all the way around," she admitted. "When I took the drink — when I took the first drink — was my low point. That’s when I knew: Doesn’t get any lower than that. That was my... that was my... that was it."

Richards also went into the other source of constant drama during her time on RHOBH: her tumultuous relationship with her sister, Kyle.

"I think at times it has been hard to love me," she admitted. "I put my whole family through a lot."
